Refurbished Side Table

I found this tri-fold table in my mothers basement and decided I could refurbish it.   I wanted to make it a cool side table to match our dark wood end table that is between the plants with the green drawer from an earlier post.  Here is the how to!



SUPPLIES:

  • Table
  • Chalkboard Paint
  • Painters Tape
  • Colored Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Sandpaper
DIRECTIONS:

1) Take the table and make sure it is sanded smooth.


2) Tape off the sides of the table (and in the case of mine the center where it folds!)


3) Clean off the top and spray paint it with a few coats of the chalkboard paint. I believe the can says at least three.





4) Once it is dry remove that tape and tape the top edges.


5) Hand paint the edges (and in my case center) with the color that you chose.  I chose green to match a drawer on another piece of furniture in our house that I mentioned above. 


6) Let it dry and you're done!! 




Here is my photos and how they turned out!....








What do you think? What would you do differently?
